Of course! Why did I not associate that with your water system? I for some reason thought you were doing that for like an aquifer.

So your still doing that? Are they paying you now?

They’re not paying me.

As for the aquifer, before we moved here the village only charged for having a water hookup (no charge for water). When the water project was done in 2011 to replace all the village’s water pipes (and pipes going into homes), the state mandated the village had to meter water and charge (something) for it, so they could measure extraction from the Ogallala Aquifer versus recharge by rain and runoff from the mountains.

That water project (thank goodness I wasn’t here for that) had people coming to village board meetings armed, breaking out in fistfights, &c. Folks were really upset about paying for water.

Our rate is $3.75 for 1,000 gallons.
